(750 posts)into the land of the one percenters, which is in this essay called the Franchise Concept. If you will indulge me, while navigating into this highly private secret economic area, many interesting results manifest themselves for intelligent debate the mainstream media will never deliver.
That includes real estate manipulation, local employment, and especially a shift away from the basics in the Constitution for the development of a Democracy. The Franchise concept reveals the shift towards economic tyranny all under the flag of nationalism.
What in the hell is the point here? Answer ; some small to medium towns can be viewed as mostly franchise driven economy. Please understand I have no axe to grind towards anyone political party, just to understand the down side of franchise concept, this is my opinion expressed here.
If there is a fault in the system these representatives in congress and the senate share the shame, plus the media is the key player that perpetuates that shame, that awkwardness that chains Americans to poverty.
One time traveling through a very upscale town in a north suburb of Chicago at night it is noticed that most if not all the marquees of business lighting the road way to capture business is the franchise. Small independent proprietary ownership was few if at all. This culture of franchise is the issue. Actually looking for the name of the town or village was not easy.
Now especially, big box business looking for tax breaks plus willing to higher local residence shrinks the revenue base with stagnant wages.
Just like loop holes do for national politics. Think about this, when all
these characteristic converge, plus cutting labor, like police, teachers, public works winds up cutting tax income revenue. Government is not out of money but is out of balance.
America is in a depression but the leadership or top business will not make the admission. Of course not, if an admission to a depression is made there is the likely hood the one percenters will lose all their wealth.
Think about this, the one percenters have already displayed themselves as scoundrels, swindlers, or just plain economic parasites on the system please beware of the wrath handed out while they lose what they had. It is happening now.
From my view we the people should go a step further to reduce or eliminate some of this franchise concept. Much of it is in the category of too big to fail attitude, or what early business calls antitrust stuff which I will admit know little of however, in my opinion could be very versed openly educated by mainstream media but are not.
So here are we wide open to the complicity in corrupt government, business, and media all working in concert that stymies American in poverty. Yes it is a very harsh statement to make, but
If there are those who love the basic concept of American Democracy getting tough and critical will make the system better.
Especially for those of us who voted for that moment to be able to do something good for all America not just the one percent. Yes, I voted for President Obama expecting that moment to be address with action taken to effect for the ninety nine percent. What we the people didnt expect is President Obama to put a cork on the trickle down economy, to trickle back to the one percenters economy. Plus continue the war, torture, profiteering policies for the few one percenters.
Guess you could understand how anyone could be upset, very upset, angry With the system that as Pelosi said We the people wont know what we get till we vote for the bill. Thats not government for my grandchild, but likely government for her grandchildren. A very painful realization, enough to make anyone go insane.
